Tolerating business

This is an article that was recommended to me in a recent comment. Here is Robert Fulford saying what I say, clearly.

This is summary quote: "Capitalism creates most of our jobs and we would all be desperately poor without the entrepreneurs who keep the economy alive and the financiers who invest in our corporations. But that's no reason, as Canadians see it, to look upon business with anything but suspicion.

"Of course, only a few Canadians will declare themselves anti-business, and an even smaller minority will argue for replacing free enterprise with a command economy directed by bureaucrats and politicians. But we tolerate business rather than admiring it."

True for America, obviously. Which is why I am proposing a statue to honor the Heroes of Commerce in my hometown.
